Urban Jungle - South Norfolk

Good for cakes and coffee. Unfortunately not much selection available during our visit. Lovely surroundings and the garden centre is great.

Went with family members thinking we would be able to get lunch. I asked the lady behind the counter if she served sandwiches etc, abruptly she replied this is what we have pointing to the counter. I purchased 2 sausages rolls and a cheese scone, extremely expensive for second class food, soggy scone and stodgy sausage rolls. Sorry but we wouldn’t return or recommend.

BUYERS BEWARE. My son bought a small unlabelled TOXIC house plant from Urban Jungle Norwich with his pocket money, which my dog then ended up ingesting after accidentally knocking the plant off the table. Fast forward eight days of veterinary hospital care, near-death, a £2.5K vet bill and facing a month of recovery, I can honestly say I have never regretted popping in our local garden centre to buy a simple houseplant as much as this. Garden centres who sell TOXIC houseplants should ALWAYS label them as such. If the bigger garden centres and supermarkets do, so can you, Urban Jungle, especially given you have created bespoke labels for all your plants. No excuses. The next time, it could be a child who nearly dies.

This cafe is brilliant! If you are looking for a caf on the outskirts of the city, whether it's after a visit to the countryside or perhaps to complement your shopping trip to Costessey retail park, then you won't regret choosing Urban Jungle. Its greenhouse cafe is filled with all sorts of plants. Some of them the most mature, healthy and BIG specimen I've ever seen! You can find your own corner and not even realize your in a cafe until someone brings your order round. The atmosphere is 10/10, but so are their coffee and food. I've had panini, soup, and cakes and enjoyed them all on each occasion. Before you leave, don't forget to take a leisurely stroll around, find the koi pond and search round the plants and plant accessories on sale which are displayed throughout. You won't be able to take the giant monstera, but you'll be able to get your own little one! Just go. You won't regret it.

First time visiting Urban Jungle. Wow, my new favourite garden centre. Such an array of unusual plants. All in tip top condition. Friendly staff too. The coffee shop is set in such a way you feel you have escaped to somewhere exotic. The coffee was best I've had for very long time. Definitely come again.
